[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 808399, member: 38640"] I wouldn't. Besides the fact that the sport is almost entirely run by professional entities, that drug scandal's are already rife, and that it encompasses sports already being represented in the Olympics such as boxing, wrestling and judo - how the hell would you win a gold medal? Fighting four or five UFC fights within the space of a tournament would bus ridiculous. In boxing you have amateur rules (and until recently only amateurs competing), which incorporate only three-three minute rounds, head-gear and 12 ounce gloves for anyone over middleweight. UFC gloves are usually 4 ounces, with amateurs going to six.. I both love, and play squash. But as amazing as it is, it's probably never going to fill arenas. I would like it included though. Good shout. I think the Olympics must bring back the tug-of-war.. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tug_of_war_at_the_Summer_Olympics[/url] [/QUOTE]
